    What Is Your Opinion On Blood Feathers?

    Hello everyone! I have endured several years of my sun conure being incredibly clumsy, and as a result, fractured/broken blood feathers amuck! At first we were extremely worried about them and would pull them out immediately more out of fear than for logic's sake. However as the years have gone...

    Blood Feather?

    I was just holding my bird and I noticed this bleeding feather on the inside of his wing. Is it okay? It has a really long shaft and is bloody at the top.

    Last night my budgie had an accident, the cage was not closed as I was trying to capture this one budgie multiple times so I put my other two inside the cage and left the door open for (now injured) budgie, Sprite, to get in. After finding feathers in the kitchen and blood scrapes on the...

    911 Bleeding... Again

    This happened before about a year ago, if I had to guess around the same time as now, after my canary's molt (stopped seeing loose tail feathers in/around his cage). What happened was he bites his back, but he doesn't know when to stop and it got to the point where he started bleeding a...

    Urgent Broken blood feather or something else?

    I just heard a massive commotion from the bird room, and Aurélie screech, and when I rushed in to investigate she was in a panic, thrashing around her cage. I managed to calm her down and get her out, and blood smeared over my hand when she stepped up. I've only had one fid break a blood...

    911 PLEASE HELP! TACO BROKE HIS NAIL OFF!

    On the cage that Taco came with when I got him, there was a huge hole cut out of one side for the nest box (which I immediately got rid of). I kept it "hidden" from Taco by clamping a blanket around it, which has been working fine until today. I just got home, and Taco was sitting on top of his...

    Broken or dropped?

    Ok, so my cockatiel, Alfred, dropped a newer wing feather and I saw that it had blood in the base of it. The end looks as if it was dropped not broken and there is blood nowhere on him. So did he just drop a new feather or is was it broken? Should I worry?

    Concern over feather

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone can give me an idea with my cockatiel. I got him only a few weeks ago and has had a blood feather after he bumped into something while flying around. The blood feather is now gone, and he seems to have healed nicely since then. However, as he flapped his wings...

    Urgent Need help identifying this Lovebird skin problem

    I'm looking for help identifying and hopefully treating this skin issue with my sister's lovebird. The issue started when he was furiously rubbing the back of his neck on his food dish to get her attention. Eventually it seemed that the feathers stopped growing back, and he started itching...

    Urgent Cockatoo Foot Bleeding

    Hello, I have a 1.5 year old female umbrella cockatoo. We noticed a while ago that she had white growths on the tips of her toes, so we took her to the vet. We were worried it could be mites, herpes, bumblefoot, or a number of things. The doctor did not seem too concerned and he gave us an aloe...
